EarthBalls for Schools, Teachers and Homeschoolers

EarthBalls are a wonderful teaching aid. They are a great compliment to the standard globes found in many classrooms. While a political globe enables students to locate countries and cities, only an EarthBall (or a trip to outer space) gives the true perspective of how our home planet actually appears without borders and boundaries.

Teachers and students of all ages love EarthBalls. They have discovered its usefulness in a wide range of subjects, from the natural sciences of geography, meteorology and environmental science, to the social sciences of history, culture, exploration, current events, and global relationships.

Each and every inflatable EarthBall comes with the 20-page Global Handbook. It is chock full of games, activities and resources for Earth adventurers of all ages.

Orbis Teacher’s Special

If you are seeking six or more EarthBalls, enough for your whole classroom or school, we’ll be happy to offer you our Teacher’s Special. Call us or email us for details.

Inflating and Displaying your EarthBall

When you inflate your EarthBall, be sure to blow it up nice and round. The globe should actually stretch slightly when you are blowing it up, so it becomes perfectly spherical. (Don’t worry about popping it with lung power. You most likely cannot. We’ve tried.)

If you want to hang your EarthBall up in your classroom, the 16-inch EarthBall can be hung from the inflation valve at the North Pole and the 1-meter EarthBall has a hanging loop at the North Pole.
